I opened my email today and what do I see? I’m so fortunate! I have an Amazon UK gift certificate!
The email says that “Unc Terry” sent the certificate to “Nep Terry”. At the bottom it says “For graduating. We expected none less!”
I looked all around the email for phishing attempts but I can’t find anything.
The [...]
Well, Windows Live Groups is now LIVE. I’m not sure that it has been announced with a fanfare because the main Live home page doesn’t list it yet, but it is up and running.
My first impressions are somewhat favorable but that is taking a look at it on it’s own. It is definitely NOT meant [...]
I’ve had my iPhone for 2 weeks now and I’ve quickly found some apps (all free, except 1) that I use daily:
Google App – I love the voice search option – great for when you don’t feel like typing in multiple words. So far it has worked great. I also use this app for use [...]
When Microsoft put up the notice that MSN Groups was shutting down, they also announced that Windows Live Groups would be available around November 17. That day came and went with nothing announced other than that Windows Live services were launching “soon”. I heard that December 1st was the new date for the launch.
It is [...]
So, MSN Groups are dead (or will be on February 19, 2009). {Hey, did Microsoft get confused and think they were broadcast with Analog TV?!}
I’ve scouted around and found some alternatives that you might want to use.
Yuku.com (formerly EZ-board) – this one is my favorite. It is a highly customizable discussion forum site. Downside? No [...]
OK, I resisted. I complained. In the end, my assumptions and complaints were really baseless.
What really made me change my tune? Rogers introduced new plans this month which allowed my wife and I to have a family plan which would pool our phone minutes and allow us to talk to each other for free, unlimited. [...]
It is official. MSN Groups, which has been around for 13 years is closing its doors in February 2009.
Microsoft will be recommending that users migrate over to the Web 2.0 site “Multiply” and there will be a tool to import group content. At this point it is not clear how well that will work. [...]
Us Canadians are getting ready to vote next week and our American friends are getting ready to vote next month.
The world economy is a mess.
Is now really the time to be voting? It almost feels like we are gambling on our future. But if the elections were cancelled, then we’d just be keeping our current [...]
I was looking at the Google G1 because I still have not bought a new cell phone.
It looks slick and it basically does a lot of what the iPhone and Blackberry can do – it just does it in a different way.
The question is – do we Canadians really need it (since no [...]
So the stock market tanked on Monday, everywhere.
Should we all go run and hide? No, because then we will just make things worse.
The sky is falling, somewhat. But if we remain calmn, it will be a lot better than if we all panic.
I’ll stay the course and just keep on going. If the bottom is [...]
